Jennifer,
We do the Halloween Stargazing every year...since we moved out here in
1990...the weather in New York was not always the best this time of year.
Well positioned all evening is one of the few star clusters that actually
wears a costume....NGC 457....E. T.
This year I am setting up the 6 inch refractor for some early views of
Jupiter and Venus then on to E. T.
Have a Happy and safe Halloween.

For folks staying home to hand out candy to the little monsters tonight, you
might want to take the opportunity to do the Bernie Sanden idea of showing
off a few sky tricks (or is it treats?) from a scope strategically placed in
view of the treats (or tricks) you're handing out. The heart of that monster
scorpion is very near to the early setting crescent and ...
From Joe Orman's Sky Events:
October 31 (evening): Venus 5 degrees above crescent Moon, low in SW after
sunset. Moon 7 degrees to left of Venus on
November 1.
Jenn.
